Re: [RC] [RC] [RC] [RC] NATRC is not endurance - Kathy Mayeda
I think that my horse will know the
difference! If he has too much time to think he starts trash talking at
the other horses, so if we are pacing to slow it may be an issue. If he
has a job to do, like get down the trail, he's fine.
He'll probably throw a tantrum on the trail
and be doing his lame trot. Besides he's a grey horse that gets green
slime down the butt. If you look closely at the notepad they gave out at
the AERC convention this year, that's me and my dirty behinded Beau on the
second day of Cuyama years ago. I'm sure that we would be marked down for
that. I know, I know, diarhea on an endurance horse ain't a good thing,
but it hasn't slowed us down, it's just kept us from going too far.
I had an arena lesson on him a couple of
weeks ago and my instructor asked me to use one of my other horses for lessons
next time. He was acting lame, threw a tantrum and was sulky and not
wanting to go at all. The following weekend we rode some pretty brutal
trail for two days without a mis-step.
so do
my horses. They don't know whether it's AERC or NATRC ... or
care
very true - kind of like when I sell a mature horse and the
prospective client wants to know if the horse "rides english or western".
First of all my horse does not ride - they all have trouble getting their back
legs around another horses and they cannot hold the reins properly
<VBG>; but as you say, the HORSE doesn't know one from the other - he or
she only knows what is being asked of them. lol!
